\section{Further Research}

To extend this research it will obviously be valuable to interview key persons from each of the shareholders of Symbian, especially Nokia. That will without doubt give many nuances to the study of Symbian and reveal the different interests from a first hand perspective. It will possibly give some slightly different observations and results. \bigskip

\noindent Throughout our report we indicate that there was a shift in paradigms, or customer demands at least, from hardware oriented compatibility to more software oriented compatibility. It seems relevant to make research that investigates this shift more in depth to reveal more aspects of the extinction of Symbian and also give us a varied picture of the mobile platform market. \bigskip

\noindent During this study we have realized that Symbian did not have success on the American market compared to their success in Europe. We request research that reveals the impact of this fact on the declination of Symbian. Hopefully this can result in a general study that shows the importance of the American market for the ICT industry.
